Understanding Fractions Institute - Baldwin County Public Schools
Understanding fractions as part of the number system can help students to make connections to their existing understanding of whole numbers. In this two-day workshop, we will discuss the essential understandings of fractions, develop a variety of representations for fractions, their relationship to whole numbers and ratios, and explore ways to help students understand how operations with fractions relate to operations with whole numbers.
